Verdict

The Rough Habit Plate at Group 3 level over 1 ¼m will round up the day, and good luck if you are still alive in the quaddie. SOLID GOLD (16) is a brilliant NZ trained filly who has won her last 2 starts at Ellerslie, going from maiden success straight to a G3 win. She cops a wide gate, but she can still complete a hat-trick of wins here. PROVIDENCE (2) was ridden cold in the Frank Packer Plate at Randwick 4 weeks ago, and charged home into second, finishing less than a length from the winner. He can have the last say here. O'SHEAMUS (6) was also running on in the same race as the second pick, and he has been steadily improving with each run back from a spell. Zac Purton picks up the ride, and the pair merits healthy respect. ONE STEP CLOSER (1) was a game sixth in the G1 ATC Derby at Randwick 6 weeks ago, and the drop back to 1 ¼m won't be a problem. Stick with him for all quaddie combos. ACCIDENTAL BID (8) saluted in a weaker race over 1 ¼m at Pakenham last time out. Include,
